Any singers?

[Natkat]

 I like to sing but my voice start breaking, its nice expect when I cant sing my favorite songs.
someone who got advise on these points?

[Jeh]

I sing, I went to school for it for a while as a female, and now I'm attending university majoring in Music as a voice student and my teacher is totally on board with training a voice on T.

Are you on T? How long have you been on it? My voice never started cracking, it just started dropping. I'm a baritone now, 4 months in. I found that I've lost my high range, so I have a lot of trouble singing tenor songs because they go too high.

This is me singing a musical theatre baritone song at 4 months on T: http://www.jenny-jackson.com/ificantloveheraug1.mp3

As for not being able to sing your favourite songs, all I can suggest is to look for new songs in your new range that can become new favourites.

its been 3 mounts and I started to have problems with my highs, I had that earlyer but I noticed if I sang in a diffrent way they I could still reach the same tones they would just sound a bit deeper, and I thought maybe there would be simulary tecnique..

Jeh nice voice

Forgive my curiosity, but can you do falsetto...?

[Natkat]

yeah nice voice btw,
gonna ask you the same as pie

Nice voice Jeh. The song reminded me something off of Broadway.

As much as I hated my old voice I actually missed being able to hit high notes and have it sound good. When my voice started to drop I had such a hard time finding pitch and finding my vocal range again. I was a tenor before. I literally stopped singing for 2-3 months before I realized I can fix this. I'm pretty much a Baritone now however my friends are saying that it sounds like I'm sicking down into the bass level. Hahaha! When that happens I'm going to run around singing "Barbeque sauce" just like in this old

Chris LOL wtf chilli XD

I think I been a mix between falcetto and tenor?, the first songs I sang where old nordic gypsy liking songs who got these half deep, then high kind of way of singing so I begain to sing that alot but now I got problems every time it gets high.

I used to be able to sing this song --> Erasure - a little respect - with lyrics.
but now I cant hit the last tone.. T_T

I'd give up anything I am and have to be able to have a singing voice  .

[Crypt77]

I'm a true believer in the fact that anyone can sing. It's just not everyone can sing well. Some people need some lessons, some don't.

[N.Chaos]

The only advice I know of is to just keep doing it. I've never had professional training or anything, and I'm not on T, but I think I've got a pretty damn good voice. I got myself able to sing lower over years and years of just singing male singer's stuff.

Yeah, I wouldn't call my 'singing' well... singing. It's so bad I can't even attempt it. It will just never happen hahah.

Yes you got a "pretty damn good voice" all right! That's heaps cool

[Randi]

Pay close attention to the volume of air it takes you to make a given note, try to use less and achieve the same note. If you are on T the vocal cords will thicken making it more difficult to achieve the higher range so to achieve the higher register you have to use less air to keep vibrations at a minimum. You will also have to use a different muscle tension to achieve the sound you want. As your voice changes you will probably also have to adjust your own expectations about what you are able to do.

I have had to satisfy myself with having a baritone voice. I can still hit the high notes but they are not as clear or strong as they were before my voice changed. Good Luck.

Thanks apple, it's one of the (very) few things I completely love about myself.

thanks thats pretty usefull,
I also felt like I had to practice to sing in a diffrent way to get the same tones, and still they would sound diffrent but I would be able to sing them.

Randi's advice is right on. It's all about air and control. Good thing to keep in mind.

That's me right now -- guitar, drums, and singing. For life.

I'm kind of on the fence about T because I'm satisfied with where my voice is at right now. I don't want it to change so drastically.

[Jeh]

Thanks for the comments about my clip. It actually is from a Broadway show.

And no, I can't do falsetto. The only singer on T I ever talked to was Lucas Silveira, and he said he lost his falsetto for a while as his voice was changing but that it eventually came back. That's what I'm hoping for.

Then again, I'm trying to hit it the same way I would have with my female head voice, so maybe I need to try doing it a different way. I will wait for my teacher though, because I don't want to hurt my voice.

?? strange I had read he didnt wanna go on T because he didnt want his voice to chance but that hav just been rumours?..

okay I got to practise with my voice and my lovely guitar..
and I found out I can still hit the same high if I sing it like opera..
however the chancing from deep to high, is hard.
I can sing something deep all the time or high all the time, but as I chance my voice from deep to high I have to be carefull and I need to sing diffrently.

[Jeh]

Lucas Silveira didn't want to go on T at first because he was worried about the voice change, but he eventually did. He's been on T for a while. Just listen to his youtube clips, or his newest album. Definitely been on T for a while.
